CWTA X225 - Assessing the Impact of Domestic Violence on Children and Families
Description
In this training, learners will be equipped with the skills to support family safety and well-being in child welfare cases complicated by domestic violence. The course explores the dynamics of domestic violence, emphasizing cultural and historical factors, power dynamics, and intersectionality. Learners will identify various forms of domestic violence, recognize indicators of domestic violence, and assess its impact on families.
This course replaces “CWTA X209: Domestic Violence Co-Occurrence: Partnering and Engaging Parents”. While this training continues to focus on how to engage with adult victims and offenders, there is a signficant expansion of content in the area of assessing and planning for safety within the context of child protection as well as new content on engaging with children of offenders and adult victims. Through trauma-informed and strength-based approaches, participants will practice engagement skills and develop competency in using tools to document patterns of abuse. Learners will apply the skills and knowledge to scenario-based exercises to develop their ability to promote the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families while fostering professional growth and systemic improvement.
